Roest & Koraal

Roest & Koraal. Première of a filmed portrait of Ellen Spijkstra, visual artist in Curaçao, by Felix de Rooy and Kirk Claes.

Ellen Spijkstra arrived in Curaçao in 1980 and has since worked on the island as a ceramist, photographer, designer and teacher. Through her work as a visual artist she has had a notable influence on the art scene of the island and has left her marks on various locations. Apart from shots of her artworks the movie will show Ellen in her studio and at several other spots on the island. Ellen will be explaining her work but her ex-students and clients will also be sharing their views.

The short portrait of Ellen resulted in the present movie: Roest & Koraal (Rust & Coral) which will premiere on Wednesday, May 22nd in Teatro Luna Blou. Art historian Jennifer Smit will begin the evening with a short introduction. Length of each short movies is 30 minutes.
